The Next Generation of Health Data Exchange
Human API’s consumer-controlled platform gives users a
streamlined means of accessing and sharing their personal health records with
physicians, trusted startups and enterprises, and insurers. The platform
harnesses a machine learning-powered data pipeline that structures health data
into a consistent format, making it easier for medical researchers and
scientists to use actionable data more quickly and efficiently while ensuring
that patients remain in full control of who their personal data is being shared
with.
However, going one step further than just solving the data
portability issue, the Human API platform offers users various options to make
their data actionable, such as:
– Sharing their information with specific researchers who can put it to good use
– Enlisting to take part in medical trials or pharma trials
– Speeding up insurance processes to less than 24 hours
– Taking part in wellness programs provided by their employers.
“By facilitating these transactions,” explains Sean Duffy,
Co-Founder & CEO at Omada Health, “Human API is bringing into being a new
consumer health ecosystem driven by consumer-centric health apps and services.”
